Sign Painting Up There
I had no idea this was done anymore. This is a short documentary about the men who still paint bill boards by hand – well done.

Rival High Schools Vid Lib
This has been sweeping through the internet so I decided to proliferate something that I think is both fun and positive. Apparently two film classes from two competing high schools in Washington state had a challenge to make a vid lib. This is really cool because of all the clubs and students that [...]
One year in 40 Seconds
One year in 40 seconds from Eirik Solheim on Vimeo.
Nice…I would like to try this with my garden this summer. Remembering to take the picture every day would be the hard part.
CNN and Pixar
I have shown my students countless videos like this one about Pixar. They never tire of hearing about the genius that is this company and neither do I.
MGM Lions
I always wondered if that was the same Lion. There have been five MGM Lions.

His lines for Dracula were rehearsed phonetically. His reknowned delivery of lines such as ”I am …Dracula” was a total accident. When you [...]
Movies I have Seen: Into the Wild

The [...]

Movies I have seen: Frida
This film was made in 2002. It is an autobiographical film about the Mexican surrealist painter – Frida Kahlo. The movie depicts her life starting from the accident, which was the source of much of her physical pain and, arguably, the source of her artistic inspiration. It covers her tumultuous marriage to Diego Rivera – [...]
Movies I have seen: The Watchmen
